There was a lot of hoopla over this week’s reveal of the 2015 NHL All-Star jerseys, so I thought I’d rank the 5 best and 5 worst NHL All-Star jerseys of all time. THE 5 BEST: 5. The “McDonald’s” Star Jerseys (1994-1997). I nicknamed these the McDonald’s jerseys because the letter/number font was the same seen in …

I’ve been a big fan of OYO’s NHL toys since their debut in early 2014 (which coincidentally is when McFarlane Toys stopped making their NHL line…interesting), so I thought I’d ask Chris Ho a.k.a. Vangelus to feature them in one of his V-build videos. In this video review he takes a look at a few NHL skaters and a …

McFarlane Toys appears to have discontinued their long-running NHL Sports Picks after a 14-year run dating back to 2000. No official word has been given for the cancellation, however there are rumors that the company has chosen to focus on their popular The Walking Dead line of collectibles. Given the continued releases for the NBA and NFL Sports …

From May 2004 to January 2005, 26 glorious episodes of Megas XLR hit the airwaves. The show was about two modern-day slackers (Coop and Jamie) who inherit a giant robot from the future named Megas XLR (XLR standing for eXtra Large Robot). They are joined by Megas’ original pilot, Kiva, and together they lay waste …

I made the mistake of writing-off Frank when I first heard of it: an A-list actor (Michael Fassbender) wearing a fake head for the entirety of a comedy film? Sounded like a gimmick. Well, looks can be deceiving, though some of the blame should be placed on the filmmakers. That’s because this film is actually about Jon, …

We’ve had 26 Autobots appear in 4 movies so far, so let’s take a look at their ranks and um, rank them. I know lists are subjective, but this is more of a refresher course on the many heroic robots that audiences were expected to embrace and root for. This is already depressing. For the sake of brevity, …

Earlier this year OYO Sports made a big splash by launching their line of NHL minifigure toys, which is comprised of several players from all 30 teams (plus a few Winter Olympic team variants as well). As of this writing there are over 200 players available, each with their own name, number, and likeness. It’s quite an …

I’m a huge hockey logo and jersey design nut. I’ve been a fan of the NHL since the late 80’s, when the league was a paltry 21 teams. In that time I’ve seen a lot of great jerseys and a few ugly ones, the latter of which I’ll be showing off here. In no particular …

The big news in the gaming industry is this past week is the departures of Jack Tretton and Marc Whitten from Sony and Microsoft respectively. Both men were instrumental in the launch of the next-gen PS4 and Xbox One systems last fall. Tretton’s departure has been characterized as an amicable split, as he decided not …

Last year FX debuted The Americans, a drama set during the height of the cold war in the 80’s. The protagonists are a pair of KGB agents posing as Americans living in Washington D.C.. The two spies live as a married couple running a tourism agency, and even spawned a few children to boot (the …
